A fantastic story focusing on WWII and the difficulties faced by those who were targeted for their sexual orientation. The layout of the story focuses on Ruth who has uncovered some interviews and soon begins to uncover a lot of truths. Its set between two time periods where we go between Ruth and her life and Genevieve and Pierre.
I became attached to the characters and had to keep reading!
